We’re looking for a Demand Planning Manager to join our team in Milan.

We are looking for a Demand Planning Manager who will lead this critical mission and play a central role in connecting commercial ambition with operational excellence. This is not just a planning role. You will be responsible for driving demand planning, stock optimization and service level performance, directly impacting sales, availability and working capital — while leading a team and shaping the way we operate.

- Own inventory strategy and stock optimization, balancing availability and cost efficiency
- Manage and develop a team, ensuring focus, performance,
and capability growth
- Monitor and improve service levels in stores (OSA) and overall product availability
- Drive actions on slow‑moving stock and improve inventory rotation
- Translate demand plans into effective purchasing and replenishment strategies
- Partner with Trade and suppliers to ensure the right assortment and support commercial initiatives
- Coordinate with logistics providers to ensure efficiency in warehouse and transport operations
- Support key business moments: product launches, peak periods, and new store openings
- Deliver clear insights and reporting on key KPIs (forecast accuracy, stock coverage, inventory turnover, OSA)
Ideal candidate
- Combines strong analytical skills with business understanding
- Has experience in Demand Planning / Supply Chain / Inventory Management
- Is comfortable leading people and influencing without authority
- Thinks both strategically and operationally
- Enjoys improving processes and driving change

We offer a competitive compensation package aligned with seniority and experience, typically in the €52,000–€60,000 gross annual salary range, plus a performance‑related premio.
What you can expect
- A high‑impact leadership role with direct influence on business performance
- The opportunity to shape and improve demand planning practices
- A collaborative and international environment
- A company where people, passion, and performance go together
